CD of the Week (19 July – 25 July 2008)

Juan Diego Florez – Bel Canto Spectacular

A celebration of Bel Canto from THE Bel Canto tenor of our times and featuring star duets with artists including Anna Netrebko and Placido Domingo.

For the past decade the Peruvian tenor has earned ecstatic critical and public response internationally for a technical prowess and an authoritative style, Flórez’s exhilarating vocalism, matched by a magnetic stage presence, has prompted major opera companies to revive many rare works especially for him.
